Bruno Tonioli has promised that new reality series Dance X will be much "sexier" than Strictly Come Dancing.
The choreographer has teamed up with his fellow Strictly judge Arlene Phillips for the new show, which follows the search for a new dance act.
"This is nothing like Strictly Come Dancing," Bruno told The Sun. "This is young and sexy. Strictly is all about ballroom dancing, but Dance X is about creating a whole new group of dancers who can also sing.
"We are really looking for the rough diamonds who are ready to be polished and made into this great group. In the Seventies you had Pan's People, Legs and Co and Hot Gossip but we haven't had a popular dance based act for 30 years. It's a shame because there are so many talented dancers who could do it."
Dance X starts next Saturday on BBC One.
